Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

The Marquis couple, Garcia and Anais, were hailed as picture-perfect by high society, like a painting.

Anais lived contentedly in this loveless, restrained tranquility. However, when her first love, whom she separated ways with painfully seven years ago, appeared, cracks began to appear in her daily life…

“May I draw you one day, Milady?”

The changed name, the status of a famous painter, and everything changed from their childhood, Siasen asked to paint Anais, and Anais, who had deep guilt about him, accepted his request.

“My wife praises you so much for being an artist. I thought about meeting you, too.”

Although he was polite, the attitude of her husband, Garcia, who always seemed cold, began to change.

The cruel and tragic incidents and accidents began to appear in the social circles of Katisha, the capital of the Empire, surrounding the three people: Siasen, an immortal painter whose love for a woman had become an ardent obsession, Anais, and her husband Garcia, who harbored a secret.

What was the truth and secret of the two men, who were after Anais?

This is the first time I am leaving a review on novelupdates. The story was just that good for me. I even opened up a RIDI account and MTLed the rest.

This is a very long read and has slow build up. So if you like a very fast-paced plot, this story is not for you. Rather than your usual historal romance drama, this more a mystery novel with a big romantic sub-plot.

There are two main male leads, but they do not get equal attention, so it's easy to figure out... more>> who is endgame. Both of them are highly intricate and well rounded characters. Hell, the second ML could be the male lead of his own novel. But the ML is still my favorite though.

Spoiler

Rest assured: Garcia (the husband) is the male lead.

The female lead does not cheat on her husband... at least physically (except for a pity kiss towards the end). There is what we modern day readers may consider emotional cheating. Still, considering the time period and context, I do not consider it an affair. The FL & ML are partners in a arranged marriage and at the very beginning of the marriage, the ML explicitly says he doesn't want to be emotionally involved with her and vice versa. At the beginning, he is (seemingly) a very kind, respectful but emotionally cold and detached husband. And love affairs after marriage are the norm in noble society and are not seen as anything harmful or unusual. When FL (Anais) tries to pursue a deeper relationship with her husband (Garcia) at the beginning, he shuts down and refuses to let her in. The FL was raised in a very loving familh and values love very deeply. So she cannot help but look for emotional connection. Thus I can't really fault her and not to mention she carries a lot of guilt towards the second ML, as she thinks she and her family ruined his life.

[collapse]

If you enjoy a mystery that slowly unravels, love triangles, male jealousy, and well rounded side characters, this is definitely the novel for you.

As a final note, I must say, the ML of this novel is one of the most unique and well written that I have ever had the pleasure to read about. We, as readers, keep uncovering his depths & inner psyche till even the very last chapter. I am quite satisfied 😌 <<less

I'm a little shocked there isn't a review for this yet, so I'm giving it a shot. I've never written one before, but I enjoyed this enough that I felt I really ought to say something. I've only read up to the available chapters at this point (52), so if my opinion changes in the future, I'll update this.

Story and translation are both quite good. So far I can't throw my support entirely behind either love interest; the relationships are too complicated and I like that. I really appreciate that... more>> the MC recognizes the good and bad of her marriage and isn't instantly bailing on it or blind to the flaws.

I love how poignantly this story examines the various "flavors" of love and relationships. It isn't a bedroom romp-fest with a side of story. The characters and the story are the focus.

Depending on your preferences, it might feel slow, but I've enjoyed it so far. In a lot of ways, the first 40 felt like set up for the story, and I'm looking forward to where it goes. Hopefully it maintains this level of balance in future! <<less

Well... To be honest I believe some of people won't like this kind of story. I also find FL's action and reasoning quite morally questionable for me. Nonetheless I still understand it at some point. Yeah, I should say this too even if I dislike it a bit.

"You can't control your feelings but you can handle how you behave."

So that's quite fair for FL if her heart has lingering affection towards her ex-lover. But indeed, it doesn't mean her feeling to her husband is so shallow either.

For me, human's feeling... more>> isn't as clear as that to be explained. It's not like a crystal clear but clouded sky sometimes. I admire how marriage isn't simply associated with love only but tied together with affection and respect. I like that term. It's indeed love isn't not eternal, relationship can't be built solely on immature love.

I like the tense and mysterious bringing here. Even though sometimes these characters bring me depressed by their way of thinking and solving problems. But everything is alright. <<less

I don't understand why there's so many one stars, but personally this book was really refreshing.

It's my first time reading a personality like Garcia's as a ML. On the surface he's the perfect gentleman but you can tell he's hiding something (which adds a little spice). Plus I love Garcia and Anaïs wholesome interactions. Also siasen is really hot.
